I don't have a photo - but 4 of our 5 coins have allegorical scenes (2 birds, a generic Maori mask and a depiction of the Endeavour off Mt Taranaki/Egmont in 1770.
The 20 cent coin - bottom right shows a carving called Pukaki. This was carved in the 1840s and originally stood above a gate at the entrance to a Maori pa.
It was in the Auckland Museum when I saw it, but now has been moved to the Rotorua Museum, which has been closed for years following earthquake repairs!

Here's the Japanese Covered Bridge in Hoi An, Vietnam. I took this while I was on holiday. It's a composite image with the note superimposed onto the picture because the pesky camera wouldn't focus on both at the same time.
I've also been to the famous hexagonal lava pillars at the East Dam of the High Island Reservoir, which is featured on the newest set of banknotes just released last year, but I don't have a similar picture.

the Rhode island state quarter is a favorite of mine because the place depicted is a place I love.
I have sailed in Narragansett bay many times over the years, passing under that bridge to race "outside".

The London Charles I statue in Whitehall, dates from the 18th century and originally stood in the Strand
Any inkling where the designer may have got the pose from (All that is missing is the sword) and its possible that was taken down.

Some time last year I had a delivery to do in Essex, England; then I saw it was next to Kirby Hall,
and remembered I had bought, a few years before that, a token with that name on it.

When I was 7 in 2011, my parents took me to a tour to Ellis Island on a boat full of tourists, I also went to see Lady Liberty, but I was a very impatient child so I was crying to go home, now looking back at this I want to go back to Ellis Island to fully experience it

-we stayed on the Danube during our honeymoon in the fall of 2018 & the view of parliament was similar to this one (as engraved on your 1945 100 Pengo banknote).

The Sentosa Merlion is so iconic - why are they demolishing it??
